Tesla's Model S electric car nabs top US safety rating | The Verge

Tesla points out that even
though the Model S is a sedan, it scored higher than every minivan and
SUV that was tested as well. It also notes that unlike gas vehicles,
there's no engine block in the front of the Model S (the electric motor
is apparently only about a foot in diameter), giving it comparatively
more space to crumple and slow down its occupants, exemplified in the
video above. If you'd like to read more about how the Model S managed to
score so well, check the source link below.
